I prefer not to switch between apps and wallets all the time: I’d like to manage everything from my Alby Hub & Alby Go.

For on-chain funds going to an offline wallet, I’d like the option to add an xpub for view-only balances and address generation into the Hub. That way I can create new on-chain addresses without having the use the online Hub’s seed. 🔒

This should be something very different than the current onchain balance, it should be a piggy bank section or "your safe offline storage" section, hidden somewhere to avoid confusion and let only advanced users use this.

This does add complexity, but it improves usability and security for advanced users. It shouldn’t be easily accesible or enabled by default, and the flow should be clearly documented, what an xpub is, why you’d use it, so non-advanced users can follow along. 📖🧠.

This safe offline storage can also work for having referal links to exchanges that let you buy bitcoin directly to your onchain offline wallet for exactly safe storage. So it has the potential to help users that are already doing this, but also to assists new users interested on safe offline storage to be able to just view everything from the hub and not having to learn anything else somewhere else. There is also reveneu oportunity on very small comissions for linking bitcoin sellers with those users.

Thanks for considering it.
